Although the Anglo-Saxon kings had game preserves
amongst the English woodland, it was not until
[[William I]], and the [[Domesday Book]] that the word
'''forest''' entered the language.

The word was derived from Medieval Latin
''foresta'', itself from Classical Latin
''foris''
meaning "outside" -- land, not ncessarily wooded,
which lay beyond the boundaries of manors and
settlement. <br>
Mostly '''forest''' was wooded, but as a
term it could also include pasture, woodland
and even land under agriculture. <br>
As a definitional
term its main thrust was that '''forest'''
land was subject to [[forest law]].
